People need to figure out how they are going to pay for their own health
care. I have to pay for mine. In fact I usually end up spending more that
$12,000 per year out of pocket for mine and my family's health care.

Socialized or single payer systems are just a fast track to rationing of
health care.

$12k a year?? You must be one sickly SOB!


How much do you pay up in Canuckastan? $12k is a little high, but for a
person over 50 you will pay probably $1100 month for insurance. For a
younger family, will be maybe $600 with a smaller deductible.

That $12K works out like this:
$2600 for my cost of the mediacal, dental and vision insurance
$10,000 for my out of pocket expenses for co-pays, and items not covered
by insurance. Braces don't come free, prescription drugs don't come free.
